Psychophysiological testing was carried out according to the Psychodiagnostics program and involved determining the speed of a simple visual-motor reaction, determining the speed of a choice of two elements out of three. During psychophysiological testing, the reaction time and the number of errors were determined for each test.
The results. Sports have a positive effect on the indicators of the strength of nervous processes according to the results of the number of errors in the test for the reaction to the choice of two elements out of three (p<0.05). Also, playing sports has a positive effect on the quality of autonomic regulation of vascular tone, which is reflected in lower values of the heart rate during the transition from a horizontal position of the body to a vertical one in students who play sports (p<0.05).
